You are absolutely right. I was using the "Project Explorer" view instead of the "Package Explorer". Thank you!

I've two installations of Eclipse in two computers. In one installation Project Explorer is showing files sorted by type and in other it is showing files sorted alphabetically. Why is that?

In Eclipse Kepler by default it comes with the sorting way of Package Explorer for Project Explorer.

Thanks, this worked. This should be the real answer.

Can somebody explain me what are "Resources" in "Conent" tab and why they behave so odd as described above?

I tried this method, and it works except that I can no longer rename some of my files in the project. However, if I uncheck the "Deployed Resourecs" instead of "Resources", I can rename my files and get folders and files sorted as expected.
